No Jar Jar in Episode III, JEJ would be an excellent transition towards the end of the movie. It's going to be interesting to see the evolution of Anakin's "transformation" from man to machine.

Lemme' tell you what Ep's 1 and 2 were missing.
They were missing the touch of Gary Kurtz. Gary Kurtz was the producer of the first 2 Star Wars movie, and the main writer of the first 3 movies. Lucas couldn't accept the way Kurtz wanted to take "Revenge of the Jedi" so they had a falling out. Kurtz didn't want any sissy Ewok's in ROTJ, and he wanted Luke to actually cross over to the Dark Side in the movie...making the redemption of Vader more meaningful. Instead, Lucas took the reigns and turned ROTJ into a movie that should have been much better.
Lucas thought he could handle Eps 1 and 2 on his own, and has been proven wrong. He has created numerous paradoxes in the story, and has wasted 5 hours of film telling a story that would have taken 1 hour in a Gary Kurtz script. Through his own admission, he says that he doesn't know how he is going to finish the story in just one more movie. The only way he can patch the holes and fix the paradoxes is to redo the first 3 movies...YET again.
**Rumor has it that Lucas is courting (read: kissing the ass of) Gary Kurtz in the hopes that he can salvage what is left of the Star Wars franchise. In an interview recently, Gary Kurtz says that Ep 1 should have taken place when Anakin was 20 or so...and the first 2 movies should have been MUCH darker.

Well let's see...
3 still needs to have Anakin battle Obiwan and have his accident.
The death of the Jedi Knights... except Yoda...
The take over of the republic into the empire....
Palpatines emergence to the Emporer
The pregnancy of Amidala
The birth and seperation of the babies.
Should be good to do in three hours.... plus having to finish off the mess of all the Clone troopers and Count Dooku.

Obi is a Jedi Knight he dies in episode 4.
Amidala was pregnant at the end of Episode 2.

The accident that turns him into Darth Vader...the machine.
According to the books I read when I was a kid, Anakin falls into some molten metal during a duel with Obi Wan and has to be put into the suit to keep him alive.

One of those points is so simple. Been looking at too many spoilers.Ice Cold said:Well let's see...

i do believe that Ep III will be imediately after the Clone Wars are finished. at least, i hope it is.
you see, i'm a big fan of the novels (up until the New Jedi Order, at least. and no, not because Chewie bit the dust). i hold little hope anymore for Ep III to even come close to fitting in with the other storyline (i.e. the first three movies and the books), but they damn well better not have the stormtroopers be clones. 75% of the Clone Wars involve the Galactic Republic fighting AGAINST the clone armies. the last batch was grown too fast, and they went apeshit. in the end, cloning isn't practical enough to use in a prolonged war on a grand scale. there isn't enough time to grow reinforcements w/o them flipping out. or so the previous storyline went.
of course, that's probably all wishfull thinking. with Ep II, Lucas took the other storyline, bent it over, and raped it, over and over again, with a giant, spiked dildo.
